Thoughts on the Giants

Early Notes on the Winter Meetings

Giants reportedly placed a bid on Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima, however Sabean adamantly refuted this rumor. Nakajima posted a line of .297/.354/.433 with 16 home runs for the Seibu Lions in 2011.

Chris Haft reports that the Giants scheduled a meeting with Ryan Ludwick’s agent today. Ludwick hit a robust .237/.310/.363 with 13 HR in 2011 at the age of 33, heralding a potential 9-year contract for his efforts. Really? Ryan Ludwick?

Baggarly posted that Aubrey Huff will be seeing more left field next season to accomodate Buster’s transition back to catching, who will see playing time at first base.
